The Best Webcomics You're Not Reading

At the Arisia Science Fiction Convention last weekend, I moderated a panel with SF Writer Lawrence Watt-Evans and comics fan Israel Peskowitz. We spent 45 minutes reeling off a list of the webcomics that we love, past and present. In no particular order (ok, in alphabetical order...), here's the list we came up with, along with the status of the comic when known. Remember, even when a comic is no longer active, it may have a huge archive worth perusing.

I've been far more effective at getting out a new comic ever week for the past several years than I have at promoting my site. I always thought, "well, it's only a weekly, so I'll wait to promote the site until I've got a backlog of material for people to enjoy.

Well, with 150 or so comics in the can, uh, I guess it's time to get on that or something. Where are my Marketing Minions when I need them?

Nice Webcomic List...I love the concepts of some of these webcomics
my favourite concept is that of garfield minus garfield. It's such a contrast to when I was growing up reading Jim Davis's moody but lovable cat.
Now I imagine many comics minus some character it's fun. But you cannot minus Hobbes from Calvin. But you can minus Dennis from Mr. Wilson's Life. You can have crazy fun like this. I stubled upon another Nice concept about doodles...well drawn...brilliant concept. http://www.doodletalk.com
Website needs some work....Its a fairly new webcomic with 60 strips so far....but great slice of life and creative work

Wow! Being mentioned on the O'reilly site gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. And not the kind of warm fuzzy you get when you leave a herring and banana sandwich in the fridge for too long. It's nice to see some of my friends on the list, too.

Just wanted to let you know that Blue Crash Kit is updating again, and I've moved it to my personal blog site. It can now be found at robhamm.com/bluecrashkit. (The old site is 301 redirected to the new one.)

Dragon tails -- the story of half a dozen baby dragons, including one mad scientist. ("You can't order that, you have to be an adult"/"No, I just have to be over 18"/"Oh, heck, I'm thousands of years older than that")

Theithere -- an Otherkin inspired comic.

Antiheroes (inspired by order of the stick)

Tale of the cave -- parody of the game Cave Story

Antiheroes is active (barely), the other three haven't had updates in forever.

If we're gonna talk about comics, we've got to talk about "Bridget over troubled Waters" It's a true comic, by which I mean it is actually funny, not some anime inspired adventure/superhero/quest/magic/drama/humanoid cat-fox person thing that (has merit in its own right, just ought not to be labeled a "comic" as "comics" by definition supposed to be funny)

Bridget over troubled Waters is a true comic in the line of Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts. I think it's updated like 5 days a week or something too. Always makes me snicker. Very intelligent humor.

Why am I going on about this so much? Because I'm really tired of opening up the newspaper and reading the garbage in there. Bridget needs to be seen so other comic artists will rise to the fxcking occasion!!!
